Watch: Super Mario Bros. 1-1 recreated in ‘MINECRAFT.’ Oh, that game.
I don’t get you, Minecraft. But I want to. Oh, I so do. I don’t get how someone created Super Mario Bros. 1-1 within your walls, but that doesn’t matter. It is still damn impressive.

Press Start: Nintendo Killed My Christmas
As the year draws to an end, we all get to reminisce about the gaming highs and lows throughout. Everybody is doing it: no-one escapes the end-of-year lists. They may have different names and irregular structures, but no-one is truly above this ceaseless list-making. Why do I care? Maybe it’s because all the real writers are so busy making their lists that they’ve forgotten to give me any news to regurgitate.
I’m delving deep and brushing off the gaming news artefacts. Then I’m gonna spruce them up for you: just like I was Dr. Alan Grant.
Minecraft creator Markus ‘Notch’ Persson and Mark Cuban drop combined $500,000 to help reform software patents.
How is this for an unlikely pairing. The creator of Minecraft and the bombastic owner of the Dallas Mavericks have combined forces to drop half a milli in order to help reform software patents. By the Lords of Kobol, with these sorts of pairings nothing is impossible!
Press Start: Haggar n’ Humanity
Hey guy, like the video games? The bleep-de-bloops? The whizz-pop and the shazmatt? Does it even matter?

They’re just words and so, here’s roughly 915 of the buggers.
Press Start: SWERY directs Shenmue 3 in my dreams
You know how some people are still waiting for hoverboards? Well, in the same way I’m still waiting for Motoko Kusanagi-style cyborg shells. Not that I want to be a 400 pound metallic hottie, more that I just want a set of unstoppable bionic eyes that don’t crap out on me between my relentless cycle of monitors. Playing video games is tough. It burns. Join me…..
‘MINECRAFT” For XBLA Sold 1 Million Copies IN 5 Days; I Still Don’t Understand Game.
Minecraft continues to be a bankable commodity on a litany of devices, including the Xbox Live Arcade Place. It also continues to be a fucking enigma to me.
Video: ‘MINECRAFT MIDGAR’ Is Fan-Service Insanity.
Feeling a little bit old-person here when I admit this, but I’m not really certain what Minercraft is all about. Yeah, I’m sorry. I find it a bit confusing. I know it’s an indie wonder, and you like…build stuff. Or something. Even without a direct grasp on what’s going on (a common situation for me), I can still respect this. It’s Midgar from Final Fantasy VII recreated in the game in staggering, staggering, staggering fucking detail.

Video: Star Wars Death Star Run Recreated In Minecraft. So Win.
Take a new geek legend, Minecraft. Smash it into a classic, the Death Star run. What you have is a collision of such fierce nerdosity, slumbering geeks actually orgasmed as the effects rippled through the community’s collective unconscious.
